Outside Looking In
One minute apart
So much older
Yet we couldnt be further from eachother
You were a second mother
All three of us
Yet eye to eye we'll never see
Always wanted acceptance
Always wanted to fit in
Room full of people
Yet im stuck on the outside looking in
There for eachother
Yet never there for "eachother"
Catch 22 is the way I would present you
Why wasnt I ever good enough
Why couldnt you see all I really needed
Was your love and affection
Not hatred and dismissance
Begged and pleaded on my knees
Constantly screaming for you to love me
I pushed to far
Pulled you away
With that you were more than perfectly okay
Couldn't care less
Thinking about us every day I stressed
Not to mention the other who hates me like no other
He should have stepped up
He should have been there
Yet his cowardness was always around
Just to tear me down
Drugs before us
My mistakes he could never look past
While his life affected my past
Always filled with anger and rage
We will never be a family
We'll never be on the same page
